Celebate folk? What like priests and nuns and things?

Oh, CelebRate Folk! Gotcha.

My daughters round about summed it up when they made the 'transition' from Goth Rock to Folk in their late teens. Having been to many concerts and festivals where the main band spent 30 minutes on stage, were neither approachable or friendly and, in the main, were vastly overpriced they had enough. They now see the 'big names' in 90 minute+ concerts and chat to them later. They mingle with people at the local folk club who are talented enough to perform their own big concerts. They have started to join in sessions themselves. And all on a budget that they don't need to take a mortgage on.

Trouble it's it's addictive. In the best possible way:-)

Cheers
